Sean takes us back to his Dublin upbringing and the, at times, utter awkwardness of teenage life - weaving in his family, his school days and the business of friendship and tying it all in to the present. It's brilliant and multi-layered and it really is up there with his Perrier award winning show 'A One Night Stand'
